[Senator Clay Davis]

Somewhat expected. Be interesting to see where this goes

A top female tennis star who was forced to drop out of the U.S. Open after slipping on a wet locker room floor is suing the U.S. Tennis Association and the National Tennis Center for negligence.

Eugenie Bouchard was the No. 25 ranked player in the women's singles bracket before the Sept. 4 mishap.

After winning a mixed-doubles match, Bouchard went to the women's locker room where she took a tumble in the physiotherapy room where players soak in ice baths, according to the suit filed Wednesday in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Bouchard, who is the top ranked female player in Canada, "sustained a severe injury to her head, including, but not limited to a concussion," the suit states.

Since she was injured, Bouchard has been forced to withdraw from several tournaments and her ranking has plunged thirteen spots "and is likely to continue to drop," according to the suit.
